[quote=Anonymous]OP dating with kids is complicated.  I don't know how old his daughter is. But if she's old enough to have a clue that he's dating, she will likely be sensitive to whether he's fully engaged with her on vacation or pining over you. What kid wants to feel she's playing second fiddle to a new girlfriend?

When kids are involved, it's best to take a romantic relationship very slowly.  I am a step mom, and honestly, I hope he's fully engaged with his kid on vacation. You may WANT him, but she NEEDS him.  Trust me, you don't want anything to do with a man who's not a great dad to his kids. And you will have to be independent enough to understand you will take the back seat to his child in many ways. But that's ok. You are an adult. She's not. You are independent. She's not.  That doesn't mean you don't have a solid relationship with this guy that may lead to more.  It may very well.  But it will likely take longer than kid-free romantic relationships, and will likely require more separations like what you are going through now.
